EU proposes special dispute court for US trade deal – official

BRUSSELS: The European Union on Wednesday proposed a special court to resolve any disputes arising from a planned huge trade deal with the United States, instead of the widely criticised private tribunals that Washington wants.

EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said there was huge public scepticism about the previous dispute resolution plans, the most controversial element of the massive TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) deal with the United States.
